UPDATE: GLENCOE CONDUIT TRENCH – APRIL 29 – MAY 2
Trench backfilling and road repaving in the vicinity of Vault #1 at Glencoe-Allandale should be completed on the afternoon of Tuesday, April 29. This work completion will allow the Glencoe-Allandale intersection to be open to traffic.
Berto has excavated the conduit trench from Vault #2 through the Glencoe-Balbirnie intersection on Tuesday, April 29th. This intersection will be closed for traffic to/from the south end of Balbirnie Dr. through Thursday afternoon. Residents of Culzean Pl. will only be able to access their street by way of Dundonald Dr. during construction work hours on April 29th and April 30th.
Residents and parents, teachers and staff (accessing the school) should expect Glencoe Dr. to be closed to all traffic between Allandale Dr. to Caithness Dr. during construction work hours. Detour using Caithness Dr. or Ailsa Ave.
Glencoe Dr. will be open to single-lane (westbound) traffic between Allandale Dr. to Caithness Dr. outside construction hours (ie over-night) for the rest of this week (thru May 2nd) primarily for local access.
Please respect the 30km/h speed limit while detouring on residential streets without sidewalks; and go even slower through active construction zones. Use turn signals to show turning intentions to pedestrians at intersections. Obey the directions provided by the contractor's flaggers and signage.

KIDSPORT FLASH EQUIPMENT DROP OFF!
The KidSport concept was launched in 1993 by board and staff at Sport BC as a way to help address the challenges faced by many families when registering their children in organized sport. From a modest start in that first year, issuing $35,000 in grants, KidSport has expanded across the country and to become a national entity with 11 provincial/territorial chapters and over 160 community chapters.
Because the KidSport program starts at a local, provincial or territorial chapter, the impact of funding directly shapes sport in local communities. Each chapter—most of which are completely volunteer-run—raises funds, accepts applications, and distributes grants in its own community.
Since its inception, KidSport BC, inclusive of our 39 community chapters, has issued more than $22 million in grants to over 88,000 kids, including $2.6 million in grants - the largest single year grant distribution in our program's history - to fund sport for 7,742 kids last year (2023).
Today, our mission remains the same…to remove the financial barriers that prevent some children from playing organized sport #SoALLKidsCanPlay!
